Hey guys what quality of life improvements would you like to see in the future and why? I'm only a few hours in on this game so i don't had too much to add yet, i will later. There is just a few things i'd like to see in the future to immerse me further into the world i am building

Building Construction: This is just my opinion and i'm sure many won't agree but i'm not a fan of just clicking on a building from a farm house to a palace and clicking on the map and poof, it's just there. I'd like each building to be constructed over a period of time depending on it's size and prestige, it would give more a sense of accomplishment i feel. From the foundations, to the scaffold of palaces being build brick by brick, stone by stone in beautiful mansions. I just find it underwhelming when i can just click and poof a massive prestigious building magically appears. I'd even love a mod that could change this if possible

Better combat: I've only had one battle so far but watching videos on this aswell the battles don't add that much to the game. It seems in the little details that it has improved on older titles but i would have liked just a bit more depth on this. I also feels ships move way too fast, like toy cars rather than steam or wind powered behemoths.

Population Ai: One area i absolutely love in this game is the population Ai and their wants and needs, kind of feels like the sims on a grander scale where you actually care lol. I love watching people stroll, interact with each other and in activities. There is even a video on youtube showing in first person mode a dog chasing a cat up a tree, how cool. Here's the thing, i'd like this expanded on further, perhaps have settlers been given random names who are not just faceless clones. Relationships between each other etc.

Building Scale: This is not so apparent when you are zoomed out but look at things through first person mode and it's clear houses are too small of people, the front door is like 4ft tall lol. This is not the case for all buildings however, just some. it's clear houses need to be 25% larger. These all may seem like small things and they are but it's the small details that make games stand out as masterpieces. What features would you guys like and do you agree or disagree with any of mine?

As others pointed out, these are far outside the scope of quality of life improvements, which is more along the lines of "can we save the player a few clicks here and there in the menu".

The first point alone literally asks for dozens if not hundreds (we do after all have hundreds of buildings), which would even be extremely ambitious for a big DLC :)
